DETROIT (WWJ) – Authorities are asking for the public’s help in identifying a man who robbed a bank in Pontiac.

The Oakland County Sheriff’s Office and the FBI have joined forces to find the suspect involved in the robbery, which took place around 4:30 p.m. Monday at the Bank of America on North Saginaw Street near Huron Street.

According to police, the man handed a teller a note demanding money, and then left with an estimated $4,000 in cash. A K9 tracking team responded to the area, but didn’t turn up any clues.
